Book description
A collection full of grotesque imagination and surreal urban legends. Every night, a young man hears children playing outside his boarding house--but the alley below his window is fenced off from the world. Then, when a young woman's family starts acting strangely at the same time she begins having bizarre dreams, she decides to stay with her aunt, but the town she heads for has neither addresses nor roads... Also, an all-you-can-eat ice cream bus that's more sinister than sweet! Legendary horror author Junji Ito presents ten bloodcurdling short stories.
